This roleplay reserved for me and Vincent Zanquen

---

The head of secretary named Julie Kim walked happily to her office's room. It was already known that her skill was the top notch when it comes to work, social, adaptation, negotiation and whatnot. People linked her with the "S" rank for how neatly her work was. It's like everything will go smooth when she handle the problems. She established herself as the perfect and smart workaholic secretary to serve the youngest director of the Irrisbree cosmetic company, headed as one of the highest rate of skincare company in the country. Many has doubted the new director because of his young age but he proved himself with his skill for a little bit of time, less than a year. After appointed as the new director, the sale of the cosmetics has increased in astounding ways. Like a gem for the company, moreover probably an art himself for the company.

Vincent Zanquen, he got the best looks and best appearance. But, looks might be deceiving. Whenever he called Julie to present in front of him, he will turn to be a cold stone. And today, Julie took all of her courage to entered the director's room.

"Excuse me, sir." Julie said politely. After the young director gave the sign of approval for her to come in, Julie dashes toward the front of his desk and stared at him. Like the talks, he was the most handsome director their company ever has. He has a nice body built too, must be the result of hard work out. Snapping herself from the captivating looks, Julie also felt this scary intimidating looks around her that turned her into a coward. She wanted to give her resignation letter now but because of the heavy air and the tension they have, Julie decided to do it later.

Work.

Only working that was living in his brain.

As the grandson of the previous company's director, the future face of the start up Irrisbree company were already being on his palm. Since he was a child, he always taught about how to ran the business by his grandfather. He was a successful businessmen so Vincent Zanquen was born as the golden spoon. After graduated from his university, his father send him to lead the branch company over the state and in the middle of quartal two, his grandfather trusted him to lead the central of the company. Here he was, being the youngest CEO of the company with the disbelief came from the boomer of the stake holder. The result proven itself. The success of the rise on the company sale making him respectable even between the old geezers.

With the sudden knock from his secretary, he let her to came in. He was quite busy today with file's approval so he didn't really pay attention on how his secretary's action around him. "What's wrong?" He said to his secretary. "If you want to give more documents to sign just leave it on my desk." he added without looking at Julie.

Julie wished for all of her life's luck can be used in exchange the successment rate to defeat her boss. With the current situation, she would at least hit the desk, choke his neck, or pull his hair out if it wasn't the boss she was heading in. She can only picture it in her own imagination and feeling grateful that her boss can't read minds.

"I'm sorry, Sir. I have something to say." she said eagerly. "My purpose of coming here is to give you my resignation letter." she added, putting the letter on his desk by her own hand.

"Rejected." He said, in a stern voice. Without even have to double check on the letter Miss Estelle given him.

It was already known that Julie Estelle was the best secretary that he ever had. In less than a year, many of the previous secretaries had voluntarily resigned due to his temper or how hectic of the schedule that his secretary had to bear. Many of them couldn't even catch a grasp on how crazily workaholic he is. But, after Julie Estelle was promoted as his own secretary, their work running smoothly. The secretary can even follow his busy schedule. So, on how skillful miss Jalie were on his demands, it will be a tragic lost if he agreed upon her resignation letter. He will keep the person with the good work ethic and he will be too lazy to even teach a new one if there would be any substitute, moreover it would be low chance if the new secretary will be as good as miss Julie now, at least she were already established her high standard.

What?!?!?!

What in the world?!

What the actual F--?!

If it wasn't the director of the company, Julie cursed him in the face already. It should be down to humanity to accept the right of an employee if they want to stop working. An employer cannot refuse a notice of resignation. When an employee hands in their notice of resignation, their employer is obligated to acknowledge the notice. Julie had research about this. But, why.... Even without any negotiation during his rejection. If she could, she wanted to sue this company already. Of course if those debts didn't hinder her... And she has no more money to pay the lawyer.

"Excuse me?" Julie stated in disbelief. She wanted to make sure once more that her boss did the exact same thing about the rejection over her resignation letter. She really were feeling tired over the hectic schedule and weird requests coming from her boss. Even though she excels on her work. The cold-stone face were shown on Vincent so Julie had to retreat from her forces, as for now.

For a moment there, Vincent closed the document he had already signed, pack it in a line on his desk and lift his head up to see clearly the look on Miss Estelle's face. Her eyebrows was wrinkled, means she must have been felt outrage, either it was the feeling of anger or desperate, Vincent was uncertain. She was also bitten her lower lips, there must be more words that she wanted to speak off.

Vincent clasped his hand together, "I don't want to accept your resignation letter, Ms. Estelle. So, if you would excuse me, we have packed schedule. Can you bring me the usual sandwich by the way?" the phone on his pocket were ringing. Vincent stood up from his chair, pressed the green icon to accept the call, and answered the other party. Meanwhile, he went out of his office room to talk about the other meetings with his business partner, leaving Ms. Estelle on her confusion.

"But..." Julie was stunned. She was too surprised that the event turned out such an opposite way from what she had hoped for. She was really want to escape from this hell of life when her boss have no limit of the work he had given her. She was already planned that she would live on the town with the amount of money lottery she won. She already thought that she could just grow plants and have a sheep or two, spending her time on growing those strawberries or cabbages but like the lightning struck, this young CEO threw dirt on her.

Can you bring me the usual sandwich by the way?

Another heartless order, she thought. And he was rudely enough to left the room with her resignation letter hanging on the desk. Julie was enraged deep inside, but, she still has her cool outside. Suddenly, a really good idea popped out on her mind. She lift the tip of her mouth, making a smirk sign on her face. "Alright, Sir." She replied to Vincent's order.

She dashed out to the office's canteen where some of the food stall located each other to the office's building. She went to the subway's sandwich and ordered the usual sandwich for her boss, but in the middle of her request, "Please put a lot of cucumbers instead of pickles!" she said to the waiter. While smirking, she waited for her order ready on the counter.

Ha! It was known that their boss hated cucumber.

The plan she was going after was to make her boss angry to her and fire her.

After her order's ready, with such a joy on her heart like doing some pranks would make her happy, she delivered the said sandwich to Vincent whom just finished talking with his phone. "Your sandwich, Sir." She said with a big smile on her face.

Vincent was grateful that Ms. Estelle finally back to her sense even after throwing the strange antics like she was over the boundaries. He closed the meeting on his phone, after taking quite some time, Ms. Estelle was back with his requested sandwich. But, he felt something unpleasant about the sandwich. The cucumbers was shown even it was wrapped of the paper wrap. Everyone on his office, importantly his employee must have known that he hated cucumbers on his sandwich.

This was the first time for him that he found Ms. Estelle did a big mistake. "Thank you. Please leave it on my desk." He said. He was uncertain if he would rather eat up the unattractive sandwich or throw it away, but since he was a child, he was taught that he shouldn't throw out food since the other side of the world full of starve. After Ms. Estelle leave his room, he got the assumption to find the reason why Ms. Estelle has a turnover on her qualities.

A big grin painted on her face.

The overwhelm feelings of joy raining on her heart.

This would make some issues.

She thought. Her feet was light. With the last antics, she knew that Vincent had the biggest hate over the cucumber so he wouldn't even forgive her mistake. It would lead her for being fired or punished since the rage of his behavior could be read. She rushed back to her desk while smiling.

She waited.

Waited.

Waited on the call.

But, nothing happened.

Did Vincent check his sandwich already? Or he throw it right away? Julie fidget. She turned to anxious if her plan would fail on her. Why her boss give no reaction? Was something wrong? Julie glanced over Vincent room which turned out on the next desk. Did he already call her? She checked on her phone but not even a message from her boss came. How could this happen? She thought over another plan. She needed plan B.

She stood up from her desk again and went to their office pantry.

This time, she brew the coffee and, instead of adding some sugar, she added two spoonful of salt. After mixed them together, she brought the cup over to Vincent's room. She knocked the door and barged in the room after Vincent allowed her to come in. She put the tray on the desk and checked on the sandwich. So, her boss hasn't eat it. "I thought you need some coffee too, Sir." She said hesitantly this time.

Something must have had happened on Ms. Estelle, she acted quite... different. Vincent speculated that he has to make it clear. He has to seek for the problem. He was rather confused about a woman's perception. He quickly got his laptop and searched for any clue about woman's brain. But, the more he scrolled down the more perplexed he got. He didn't understand either about what the internet said around woman's feelings. He sighed. He decided to stopped by the bookstore after the work.

Meanwhile, Ms. Estelle barged on to his office and brought the coffee. Just a perfect time for coffee, he thought. He stood up and took the coffee from Ms. Estelle's tray and have a sip on it.

He was about to curse.

It was salty! But he didn't want to make Ms. Estelle disappointed so he drink all of it. "Thank you." he said to Ms. Estelle, leaving a forced smile on his face.

Julie was sure she put a lot of salt on the coffee instead of sugars. But looking at Vincent's reaction, she was kind of taken aback by how Vincent handle the situation. "You're... welcome, Sir." Julie was hesitant over the results. It looked like she was failed on making scene or to trigger her boss to unleash some anger on her. With some heavy heart, Julie walked out from Vincent's office and sit back on her chair.

What should I do next? she thought. She rested her chin on her palms to think for another plan but ends up to dwell more onto her work. She already used to work overtime and since tomorrow is weekend time, she made sure that she already finish all her job because she doesn't want to be disturbed on her free times. She was about to go home when her phone suddenly popped up notification. It was from the boss. Ugh! What is it this time! she bit her lips as she was too lazy to open the message.
